Ok, I did a search and even the google one and didnt find much, so here goes.
Found a few unmolested 2.6L XJs in the local yard, from what I know they come stock with 4.10 gears. Its looking like my front end is going out, I feel more and more vibrations from diffrent parts every time i drive it. So it might be cheaper to just replace it all at once rather then just part by part.
So I'm wondering about these 4.10 axles. It seems like the ideal ratio for 33s (or so im told, im running 31s right now with stock 3.55 gears but would like to see it up on 33s in the future) I'm looking for some feedback about doing a swap like this.
Anyways, it seems like swapping to a d30 and 35 with 4.10 already it in (assumming everything else in the axles are good) would be a better option then rebuilding my d30 and then regearing both my stock ones. My XJ has seen better days and its still very capable, but I'm almost thinking about starting over with a newer chassis. But I'd rather not.
Let me know what you guys that have experience with these axles think about it. Other things to take into account is that I dont have access to a shop and have little better then standard tools. I can bum and borrow whatever I need if i REALLY need it but I'm a shade tree machanic at best So i dont know if rebuilding an axle would be in my ability, but I think swapping one in might be. Again never done it before so I might be off in left field
Thanks!!
